Media notes
Size difference with Wilson's Phalarope (left/back) not so obvious in this photo, but Red Phalarope discarded because of thinner bill; not riding so high in the water; contrasting back.
Observation details
One individual was close, and in the company of a Wilson's Phalarope. All the others were far away—and also in the company of Wilson's Phalaropes. Seeing the two species side by side spinning in the water made for a doable comparison through the scope even at great distance: larger paler-backed ones were Wilson's, the smaller darker-backed ones with the black mask were Red-necked.
